Adaptive Flash uses CASL, which is Nimble Storage’s Cache-Accelerated Sequential Layout architecture. This platform is engineered specifically so that organizations can achieve the highest levels of performance efficiently. Nimble's CS700 Series array is designed handle a range of performance-intensive enterprise workloads, including large-scale VDI deployments and high transaction-volume databases, as well as other performance intensive server virtualization workloads such as Microsoft Exchange. The new All-Flash Shelf can scale flash gradually up to 16TB per node, or 64TB in a 4-node scale-out cluster.  Another core part of Adaptive Flash is InfoSight, which is their automated cloud-based management and support system. InfoSight recommends the precise amount of resources needed when application demands ultimately change within an enterprise. In addition, Nimble’s scale-to-fit approach allows for a non-disruptive addition of resources; this helps to avoid over provisioning, under-utilization, and increased costs. Nimble also states that it offers greater than Five-Nines (99.999 percent) level of system availability. Much of this reliability is due to Nimble’s architecture which was designed with specific elements in mind including; fully redundant hardware, no single points of failure, and fully non-disruptive upgrades. **Availability** The CS700 and All-Flash Shelf will be generally available this month.
